Figure 5.
Evaluation of MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expressions in the presence of ALA, AUR, and ALA/AUR. U87 cells were treated with AUR or ALA alone or the AUR/ALA combination for 24 h. MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA levels were analyzed using the qRT-PCR method. Data are presented as the mean ± SD. ∗∗p value <0.01, ∗∗∗p value <0.001, ∗∗∗∗p value <0.0001 compared to the control group, and ####p < 0.0001 compared to the ALA/AUR combination.
